Who wouls pay for the change of name on the Tickets? This change of name can be very expensive and sometimes as much as the cost of the original tickets.

I think it is £30 for a name change

[Kodiak]

£30, you are jesting. The Travel Agent might charge £30 but the Airline will charge 10 times that. Have you not seen the complaints about the silly charges that Airlines charge for changing even a single letter on the Ticket, let alone a complete change. To change two Tickets over to two completely different people would be silly money. The airlines excuse is that this is due to security that they charge so much.

That was 2 years ago now it is all different. Have you not been watching Watchdog on the BBC. They have received loads of complaints about the cost of changing names on flight tickets. In most cases if you required a name change it was cheaper to buy new tickets than to change names on a ticket.

Cash strapped airlines have to use every dodge available to keep their planes in the air and selling the same seats twice is just one way of making that extra few quid. ( I am not condoning this as good practise)

Its traditional for people in the far North to complain about the cost of getting goods delivered, yet one of the biggest carriers has just gone belly up, what does it tell? Too many operators in an over crowded market.
